My daughter once took over 700 pictures of a movie she was watching on television. She was three at the time.
i love nicky. visually, the problematic parts were stunning, but the lil camp out hq shots were meh. i do think the obvious lack of consent was troubling. also i would honestly have liked the song better with a female vocalist doing chris' part, which is not just because chris is a fucking tool.
I'm particularly uncomfortable with Chris Brown in a video where people are bloodied and beaten up. Was that on purpose and Chris Brown doesn't get the fact that he's in a video meant to provoke thought regarding the depiction of violence against women? Or did Nicki not really think through the fact that she cast a…
The point of role reversal is in part to cause that discomfort in the people who don't feel it when the roles are "normal" (aka, supported by the status quo). It's basically a wake-up call: "If this makes you uncomfortable, then why hasn't it made you uncomfortable every time it was a woman?"
When the (alleged) rapist kid was finally charged last week, I was so relieved to read GOOD news for once that I sent the feminist knitting circle a Michael's gift card. When we're so inundated with terrible shit all the time, it's nice to take a moment and celebrate the small victories, you know?

It's more like recalling a dream. And some details may never resurface. I don't recall the exact dates of times when I was traumatized. I know the…
Damn rape victims not taking notes while being drugged and gang raped!
Exactly, it doesn't. The RS writer and editors didn't do certain Journalism 101 fact checking. "Jackie's" rapes are not in question, just certain circumstances. Instead of taking responsibility, RS tried to blame her.
When you have a history of being physically abusive, the "I've caused scars" metaphor sounds especially sinister.
I just realized she looks like a real-life Bratz doll.
I have to disagree strongly. If were, in the future, to have equal rights as men, men would loose out. Money, property, political offices, and formal academic, intellectual and artistic recognitions are not in limitless supply. If we were to begin redistributing those resources so that in the future women possessed…
It takes away control of women from men.
"They want to retain the advantages of being women...while trying to grab those of men."
